Dan Hill, who heads the very cool BBC Music & Interactive dept (and writes the excellent blog, cityofsound) is giving a talk in Manchester this Thursday (2nd Feb 2006) evening…
“On related matters, I’m doing a ‘remix’ of my New Musical Experiences talk in Manchester on Thursday night (18:00, February 2nd 2006), at Manchester Metropolitan University, invited by MIPC.
I’m doing essentially the same talk as in Helsinki, but attempting to fold in some issues to do with the relationship between specific music scenes and cities, possibly contrasting some of the potential of forthcoming location-based services with the disappearance of visual and contextual information NME suggests.”
I’ve seen Dan talk about Radio and the BBC activities, but I guess this is a more personal talk. I like his reflective, cerebral style (about as far removed from my style as it’s possible to get!) and it’s a public talk…so I’m definitely going.
I’m completely unfamiliar with the subject area, so it will be refreshing to face a barrage of new ideas.
